The advance knob was off when I got it, so I am trying to get that back on and working. It is apparently geared so that the advance knob will stop after the film is advanced one frame. There is a pointy lever under the knob which I think should be swiveling about 1/8 inch when I push in on the button (in the middle of the advance knob). That lever does not move in any direction, and so the knob keeps turning. It seems to be stuck. Has anybody solved this problem? Am I overlooking something obvious?
